Web Hosting for Multimedia

05-10-2010, 05:28 AM

To make multimedia web hosting is not easy. There are many factors or you may call steps are play a very important role in this as below:

* Space:Most multimedia sites have music and video archives that browsers can go through.
* Bandwidth: Streaming videos and music require a lot of bandwidth, and an average multimedia site can easily be above 1 Mb file size.
* CPU/ RAM Usage: This is extremely necessary for a multimedia web hosting service. A server will have only a particular processing and RAM power, and a lot more people get suspended for over-usage of CPU/ RAM.
* Technical Support: For the successful web hosting of a multimedia site, a fast and efficient technical support team is needed to resolve the frequent troubles that will come up.

Yes! You can upload just about any kind of file to your Web Hosting account (see complete list) and use one of our site building tools or your own software to add it to your site.

How to do it? Site Solution makes it easy to link to multimedia files from your site (learn how), but if you'd like to embed mp3s (with players), Flash movies, or other multimedia in your site, we recommend trying Yahoo! SiteBuilder or experimenting with your own third-party software, such as Dreamweaver.

I have yet to have anyone want a multimedia site or even inquire about it on our live chats. The only thing that worries me is that someone is not going to understand how shared servers work when they want to stream something crazy.
